BTW -"parallel science" and "alternative facts" are not the same as "alternative thinking" or postulating reasonable alternative hypotheses. They are rather postulates that run counter to the mass of evidence based on cherry-picked evidence taken out of context. These terms have actual definitions that are not "alternative definitions":)
Yes they do have actual definitions. I would simply ask this, are you judging ideas and inferences based on your "view of correctness" or are you applying acceptable science? I'll not get into the thick of how counter-intuitions have shaped the current world view. But I will provide an example.
